Description
Homemade egg noodles are the ultimate comfort food, perfect for soups, casseroles, or creamy pasta dishes. Made with simple ingredients, they’re tender, flavorful, and far superior to store-bought options. Learn how to make them step-by-step with tips for customizing and storing.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Make the Dough: Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center, add eggs, milk, and melted butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a thin sheet (about 1/8-inch thick).
- Cut the Noodles: Slice into desired shapes using a knife or pasta cutter.
- Dry (Optional): Allow noodles to dry on a floured surface for 1-2 hours if not cooking immediately.
- Cook the Noodles: Boil in salted water or broth for 2-4 minutes. Drain and serve.
Notes
For extra flavor, add herbs, garlic powder, or spinach puree to the dough.
Substitute part of the flour with semolina or whole wheat for a firmer or heartier texture.
Gluten-free flour blends can be used, though kneading time may vary.
